Mike,

In my view, Condi is the most viable candidate for the GOP in 2008; that is, if she wants it. If she does, she'll nuance her political positions accordingly, as all Presidents have done.

In this case, her lack of political office is a plus. There'll be nothing to attack; while at the same time, no one can question her Executive ability given that she has, and continues to be, at the highest level of the Executive Branch. What better experience can one have?

As for her conservative credentials, they have been time tested since she served with Pres. Reagan.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, she appears to have the support of GWB, who refers to her as "44".

It's her's, if she wants it. She would be a great leader. She could cause the greatest realignment in the political culture since Lincoln. And if given some of her comments on the Larry King Show, I think she's considering it.

you have many points there....

it is always nice to have the support of a relatively popular, at least within the party ranks, President who has served 2 terms....

I would consider it if I was in her position, as, I guess, you would too....

Rice/Allen (George) vs. ?????/Warner (Mark).

However you combine them, that's the '08 match.

Hitlery has about as much chance as Guliani or McCrazy of making it through the party nominations. That chance being zero or less.
